Wow that’s a really cool design. I love the finish.

Of course you can, and did! Great looking spoon…..............

A cereatively shaped spoon – I will be interested to see what kind of a bowl goes with this!

-- Steve - Impatience is Expensive

Beautiful!!! I think I’ll try one of these.

Very nice! I like the style! Also awaiting the bowl…..

-- Clarence

I came up with the shape by forming it to my hand.
I make some red cedar knives/letter openers which are molded into shapes which fit well into the hand so I just started with that and kept taking it down until it was thin enough to be a spoon.

Very unique item. How did you hollow out the top?

-- Todd

This looks like an old soldier should be using this, sitting around the fire and shoveling m(scooping?) in the beans. I like it! How big is the spoon?

It is a very unusual looking spoon but I thing that you did a good job.

Great form.

-- Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though 'twere his own. --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For me, Friar Tuck comes to mind here.

The spoon is 10 inches over all.
I blocked it out with a hatchet, then a band saw.
The rest is wood carving chisels, a dremel type device and sanding.
